Why act early in Tulse Hill
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than calling someone out after a storm. London’s older roofs often have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.

Roof survey in Tulse Hill
The report is written for you, in plain language. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and where it’s relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. If you are worried about loose chimney pots and condensation or damp timbers in the loft, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Much of London’s housing is flats, in converted houses or purpose-built blocks, so roofs are often shared between several households. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it is in and what work is coming up. A defect on a shared roof can reach more than one flat. A report gives everyone the same picture to plan from, with photos.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

FAQs for Tulse Hill
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Tulse Hill?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when booking.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Tulse Hill?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Tulse Hill is about 2 miles from the edge of the flight restriction zone around London Heliport in Battersea. The exact boundary is checked for each address before any flight, and a roof inside it needs permission before we fly. Across London there are restriction zones around Heathrow, London City and London Heliport, plus restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Every London address is checked against them before a flight. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, and the rest of the survey does not depend on the drone.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
How much is a survey?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking. For a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What does a roof survey include?
All the main parts of the roof: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
Useful tips for Tulse Hill property owners
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Stay off ladders and the roof
Keep the report with your property records. It gives you something to compare against later, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.

Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In Tulse Hill, as in much of London, a good many properties are flats or terraces without side access, so the back of the roof is often seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
How to book
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before booking.

Local roofs in Tulse Hill
Kingswood House, about 1.6 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Tulse Hill. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Close to the centre of London, a great many houses are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, many of them roofed in Welsh slate. Behind many of their parapets sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters that cannot be seen from the pavement. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Martin-In-The-Fields High School for Girls, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For landlords with property near Tulse Hill station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you live near a park such as Belair Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
